about two miles this side of Glen Ellen coming

says: " Just at present we are not coming silver
dollars at Philadelphia because of the new
steam plant which is being put in, which neces-
STATED the stoppage Of work. There seems to
have been an impression that the non-coinage
of the dollar was for the purpose of contraction,
but it is wholly on account of renewing our ma
chinery, and just as soon we can get to work
again we will make up for lost time. But while
the Philadelphia Mint is not at work on dollars
that at san Francisco is coming 400 eco of them
to help make up the deficiency. The making of
the silver dollar keeps US crowded all the time
at Philadelphia but the reason why we don't
have more of the coming done at other branch
